Transition Matrix Monte Carlo Method

We analyze a new Monte Carlo method which uses transition matrix in the space of energy. This method gives an efficient reweighting technique. The associated artificial dynamics is a constrained random walk in energy, producing the result that correlation time is proportional to the specific heat.Comment: LaTeX, 8 pages, 1 figur

A fast algorithm for random sequential adsorption of discs

An efficient algorithm for random sequential adsorption of hard discs in two dimensions is implemented. A precise value for the coverage is obtained: theta(infty) = 0.547069. The asymptotic law theta(t) = theta(infty) - ct^{-1/2} is verified to a high accuracy. Pair correlation function is analyzed.Comment: 7 pages + 4 figures, Plain TeX 3.14
